IRCC announced changes to the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program
On October 21, 2020, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), released new instructions for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP). IRCC has extended the temporary measures for PGWPP to April 30, 2021, allowing students studying online outside of Canada will keep their eligibility for a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) if they complete 50% of their program in Canada. As for short term studies, students who started their 8-12 months programs in 2020, are exempt from this requirement and can count all the time of remote studies outside Canada until April 30, 2021, towards the PGWP eligibility. The time after this date will be deducted from the length of the PGWP.
